I love Old Florida Reels! Hard to find anymore. I've been fascinated about surf perch since reading an article on them in Fly Fishing in Saltwaters years ago.

Re: Bay Area Surf fishing

I live in Sacramento and really want to start Surf fishing. When I was young I spent a lot of time on the coast as my father was a part time commercial fisherman out of Bodega Bay. Seeing your surf perch brings back good memories.

So when surf fishing are you using a 9' rod, switch, spay or?

I mostly use a 9' 7 WT.

I have a 7 weight James Green fiberglass switch rod in the works that should be a sweet surf rod.
